2. Description of the Related Art Generally, as means for fixing a terminal to a connector, a cut-and-raised piece is integrally provided on the terminal and fixed by engaging with a bottom wall of the terminal accommodating chamber in the insulating housing or by fixing the terminal accommodating chamber. A flexible locking arm integrally formed from the top wall of the above was engaged and fixed to the shoulder portion or hole of the electrical connection portion of the terminal. However, the cut-and-raised piece and the locking arm are small, and they are easily damaged by repeated attachment and detachment of female and male connectors, and there are drawbacks such as the terminal coming out and contact failure.

Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a through hole 3 is provided in an insulating housing 2 accommodating a terminal 1, and an insertion pin 4 is inserted from the through hole 3 and provided on a side surface of the insertion pin 4. A connector K has been proposed in which the locking projection 6 and the locking portion 6 protruding from the electric contact portion 1a of the terminal 1 are engaged with each other so as to be doubly locked together with the retaining means.

In the connector K, the insertion pin 4 is formed by molding an electrically insulating synthetic resin similarly to the insulating housing 2, and the terminal 1 is formed by pressing a conductive metal plate. The locking portion 6 is formed by cutting and raising a metal plate forming the terminal 1. Therefore, when inserting the insertion pin 4 from the through hole 3 to lock the terminal 6,
There is no problem if the terminal 1 is correctly inserted at a predetermined position, but if the terminal 1 is not completely inserted, the problems shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 occur.

That is, as shown in FIG. 9, when the insertion of the terminal 1 is largely separated from the predetermined position, the locking projection 5 of the insertion pin 4 abuts on the top 6a of the locking portion 6 of the terminal 1. Since the insertion pin 4 cannot be inserted up to a predetermined position, incomplete insertion of the terminal 1 can be found.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10, when the inserted terminal 1 is slightly separated from the predetermined position, the locking projection 5 of the insertion pin 4 has the shoulder 6b of the locking portion 6 of the terminal 1. However, the shoulder portion 6b is sharp because it is formed by cutting and raising a relatively thin metal plate that constitutes the terminal 1. Therefore, when pressing the insertion pin 4 as shown in FIG. The locking projection 5 of the insertion pin 4 may be scraped off and the insertion pin 4 may be inserted to a predetermined position. for that reason,
There is a problem that the incomplete insertion of the terminal 1 cannot be found, and the connection between the terminals is incomplete, resulting in a failure such as conduction failure.
